I'd like to change my header to one that is already stored in my media library. However, when I click Choose from image library under Appearance > Header, I get lost. I find the image that I want, but there doesn't seem to be a button to click in order to use it. I tried clicking Save, but it doesn't work. Any tips? :)

Demos are never exact. You can purchase an annually renewable custom design upgrade and do the editing required to change the font. Otherwise, I'm sorry but the fonts you see on the blog on your site is what you get.

I think the problem might be that I haven't figured out the difference between Pages and Posts and how to use them.

Here's my blog so far: http://soozu.wordpress.com/

I don't know how to make a front page and actually get started. Can you point me in the correct direction for beginning steps please. How do I get a front page with the demo look and how do I change the demo contents to my contents?

Thank you, Judy

Suburbia in WordPress.com supports only four widget areas in the footer. The far left grid is reserved for page navigation which appears on index and archive view if they have more than one page.

That's not a free hosted WordPress.com blog. It's a WordPress.org install. The two run on different software and have different versions of the same theme. We cannot help you here. http://wordpress.org/support/ is for those with WordPress.org installs.

It seems it only works with uploaded photos, not ones that are linked from a URL, is that correct? I can't seem to get URL images to be featured images.

Separately, does anyone know how to create two menus on the homepage (leftmost column)? I'm only seeing the option to display one menu.

but how do I get my other posts to lay themselves out in a row of five similar to the smaller posts in the Suburbia theme demo (rather than being displayed one by one)?
